Generally, this is the mechaninc the problem is that too many umpires (American):
1) have no clue to this mechanic
2) Work on small ballfields where the mechanic is straight out silly
3) Can't tell a borerline troubled ball from a routine ball (highly dependent level of play)
4) Too lazy to move
Ad up all of the above, you have the majority of American umpires which are wll crossectioned on this Forum.
